Yeah (Lord Pretty Flacko, nigga)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (woo, woo)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah
Got me reminiscin' 'bout my old day
Three 6, suck a nigga dick, no foreplay, all day (woo)
Boomin' out the trap through the hallway
Tell me what you niggas know about it
Auntie sayin' turn it down, or she finna call the cops
We be plottin' on the opps, she the one who got the drop
Just a free, quick fix, to the A and it's okay
They gon' take me back to my old ways
I was tryna chill, poppin' seals ever since I got a deal
Kick it with my model chick
Sip Cris, fuck niggas wanna diss
Now I gotta let 'em know who's really trill
Lord Pretty Flacko, Jodye
Tell these fuck niggas, how you been?
You can crossing our minds, niggas talk down every now and then
On the side, gettin' styled 9 times out of 10
It was, Flacko, Jodye, Flacko, Jodye, Flacko, Jodye, Flacko Jodye
I ain't never lookin' for no handouts
Broke ass niggas never helpin' but they hands out
Find out where the fuck nigga live then we camp out
Screamin', "Fuck the world", never catch me with my pants down
Always been a stand up guy, I'd rather stand out
Raf Simons, Stan Smith edition with my bands out
I'm the trillest one to do it since Pimp, nigga hands down
If a nigga put his hands on me, that's a man down
Trick what? Pimps up, hoes down
Woah now, slow down
See they runnin' with my old style
Grow foul, gold smile, you ho now, thuggin' with my old style
It's a shame how they low down
Dirty like Adidas on my sneaker feature, uh
Trappin' through the speaker, peep the beeper ringer, uh
Turnin' off phones, just to reach 'em, gotta beep 'em
I'm a Lord motherfucker, better greet him if you see him
Lord Pretty Flacko, Jodye
Tell these fuck niggas, how you been?
You can crossing our minds, niggas talk down every now and then
On the side, gettin' styled 9 times out of 10
It was, Flacko, Jodye, Flacko, Jodye, Flacko, Jodye, Flacko Jodye
The first verse of A$AP Rocky's "Pretty Flacko 2" starts with a question: "Who the jiggy nigga with the gold links?" Here, Rocky is establishing his own identity as a fashionable and confident rapper, and he wants to make sure everyone knows who he is. He then reminisces about his days of listening to Three 6 Mafia, a Memphis-based rap group known for their dark, bass-heavy beats and provocative lyrics. Rocky makes a reference to one of their controversial songs, "Slob On My Knob," to emphasize his rebelliousness and disregard for societal norms.
Rocky then switches gears, discussing his rise to fame and the newfound attention he's received. He brags about hanging out with models and drinking expensive champagne, but also acknowledges the downsides of his newfound success. He's constantly under scrutiny, even from his own aunt who threatens to call the police on him for playing his music too loud. Despite this, Rocky explains that he and his crew are always prepared for any situation, even if it means reverting back to some of his old, potentially dangerous habits.
Overall, "Pretty Flacko 2" showcases A$AP Rocky's signature style of blending gritty, streetwise lyrics with upscale fashion and high-end production. The chorus, which repeats the line "Flacko, Jodye" over and over again, serves as a mantra for Rocky's confidence and swagger.
